Despite Democrats portraying the Trump administration as cold, callous, and hell on Earth for migrants, statistics show that border deaths have been on the decline under this administration in comparison to the Bush and Obama years.
Fresh statistics compiled by the United States Border Patrol show an average number of deaths occurring from the treacherous journey across the border rest at roughly 291 per year under President Trump – 298 in 2017 and 283 in 2018.
That is well below the averages under his predecessors – 372 under Barack Obama and 382 under George W. Bush.
